Chapter 1297
The horse gallops swiftly.
They headed south towards Yingtian Prefecture.
……
Now let’s talk about Yingtian Prefecture.
During this period, the entire Yingtian Prefecture entered a rare period of peace and tranquility: the current Emperor Kaiqian seemed to have suddenly changed his ways and had not caused any major trouble for a long time.
The biggest excitement on weekdays is just the days when newspapers are released, so we can enjoy the entertainment and gossip.
It's what people are talking about on the streets.
What will happen next in the novel's plot as reported in the newspaper? Will Guo Jing, that silly boy, be able to finally get married to the beautiful and wealthy Rong'er...?
As for Zhu Yunwen's obsession with alchemy, and his frequent trips outside the palace to the alchemy bureau... the court officials and the people of Yingtian Prefecture said: "That's just basic stuff."
It has even reached the point where almost no one cares anymore.
And in these peaceful days...
Zhu Yunwen not only improved his own marksmanship and accuracy day by day, but also watched as the Shenji Battalion, which he had painstakingly built up over a long period of time, gradually got on the right track:
As the production of matchlock guns and flintlock guns gradually increased and improved, with high production standards and ever-growing reserves, the situation became increasingly complex.
Seeing the Shenji Battalion members go from being amazed by the concept of "guns" to being able to pick up a gun and fight, not to mention hitting the target every time, they can hit the target eight or nine times out of ten, and they can completely control the range and distance... they are also steadily progressing.
Meanwhile, the chemistry department of the Alchemy Bureau and Xu Miaojin's side were also compiling basic textbooks for mathematics, physics, and chemistry at their own pace.
As for the provinces outside of Beijing and Zhili, Guangdong and Sichuan appear calm on the surface, but undercurrents are already beginning to stir.
This day.
Zhu Yunwen was methodically reviewing memorials in the Qianqing Palace when the vermilion doors of the palace were slowly pushed open, and Ma Sanbao walked in, holding a whisk...
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen had just finished reviewing the memorial in his hand.
As she put the item away, she subconsciously glanced up at Ma Sanbao, who was walking towards her. She noticed that Ma Sanbao's expression seemed somewhat serious, so she paused slightly and asked directly, "What is it?"
Ma Sanbao was always steady and composed. Having been around Zhu Yunwen, he had also developed the habit of rarely showing his emotions, which was quite unusual.
Ma Sanbao stood still in front of the dragon-shaped desk.
His eyes flickered for a moment before he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, yes... Lord Yuan has returned from the Guangdong Provincial Administration Commission..."
Since this time.
Zhuo Jing and Yuan Tai both claimed to be ill in court, and no one else knew the inside story. But Ma Sanbao knew everything: these two officials had received a secret order from His Majesty to go to Sichuan and Guangdong provinces to conduct scouting and reconnaissance... Their return meant... the capital would not be peaceful! Or rather... the entire Ming Dynasty would not be peaceful!
Although Ma Sanbao was a eunuch, he was not as ignorant and foolish as other eunuchs.
A thorough land survey and tax reform... This matter is far-reaching and will inevitably cause a huge upheaval in the Ming Dynasty. No one can predict how this matter will ultimately turn out, especially since it will certainly involve the Huaixi military merits that His Majesty has always relied on. But when the entire Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, how can his own master, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, possibly remain unscathed?
Ma Sanbao certainly believed in Zhu Yunwen.
But his vision would never be as high or as far as Zhu Yunwen's. In this tense situation, he couldn't help but feel uneasy for Zhu Yunwen.
This is a classic case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is.
Upon hearing the news of Yuan Tai's return, Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his handsome face: "Yuan Tai is finally back? Good! That's wonderful!"
He had been waiting all this time.
We were waiting for Yuan Tai and Zhuo Jing to come back from down there!
